For Dr. Chad Johnson, orthodontics has always been about more than straightening teeth. “Eighteen years ago, when I opened my first office, my goal was simple: create healthy, beautiful smiles that last a lifetime,” he shares. That commitment has remained the foundation of iSmile Orthodontics, where today Dr. Johnson, Dr. Adam Danze, and Dr. Sheilla Starks provide patient-centered care in a warm, family-focused environment.
All three doctors are board-certified, serving children, teens, and adults across the Charlotte area. Th eir services include everything from self-ligating braces to clear aligner treatment and remote digital monitoring. Each treatment is carefully explained so families feel informed and confident at every stage. Parents oft en remark on the welcoming atmosphere: “Dr. Johnson always takes time to explain what’s happening now and what comes next. The staff is genuinely happy to see us, it makes the whole experience enjoyable.”
In addition to orthodontics, Dr. Johnson is widely recognized as a top specialist for pediatric airway treatment, helping children breathe, sleep, and thrive with improved health. It’s part of a broader mission that, as he puts it, focuses on quality, affordability, and patients first.
Technology plays a key role in that mis-sion. iSmile Orthodontics uses advanced tools like low-dose 3D cone beam imaging, in-office 3D scanning and printing for aligners and retainers, and the innovative Pitts 21 self-ligating bracket system. Dr. Danze brings further expertise with laser gum re-contouring, tongue-tie releases, and custom 3D printed appliances, ensuring treatments are both precise and efficient.
But for the team at iSmile, technology is only part of the story. What matters most is the experience. As Dr. Johnson explains, “With state-of-the-art tools, we can make treatment more comfortable and more efficient than ever. But at the heart of what we do is treating every patient like family while creating confident smiles that last.”
In addition to four convenient locations in Harrisburg, Mint Hill, Kannapolis and Charlotte’s Blakeney area, they off er early morning and late afternoon appointments, which makes high-quality care accessible to busy families.
Eighteen years strong, the doctors of iS-mile continue to focus on what matters most: patients, families, and smiles that last a lifetime.
